Miley Cyrus gracefully presented her father with a bouquet of flowers, acknowledging his unwavering support amidst the star-studded Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on May 22. Surrounded by her devoted mother, Tish Cyrus, sister Brandi Cyrus, and fiancé Maxx Morando, the Hannah Montana starlet delivered a heartfelt tribute to her family and the journey that led her to this significant milestone.
"My dad often said that a skyscraper begins with a jackhammer, and so does a star on the Walk of Fame," Miley quipped to the crowd, which included friends Anya Taylor-Joy and Donatella Versace. "It's not about the force but about the repetition."
Miley emphasized the special significance of her star on the Walk of Fame, stating, "It's an accumulation of devotion." Despite a tumultuous period in recent years—where the "Party in the U.S.A." singer revealed on the Reclaiming podcast in 2025 that "half of us weren't speaking to each other at one point"—Miley said she waived a "white flag" and reunited with Billy Ray last year. They even celebrated Braison Cyrus's 31st birthday together in May 2025, sharing a snapshot of the family gathering filled with "peace" and "healing" on Instagram Stories at the time.
A year later, the 33-year-old expressed boundless gratitude towards her loved ones—including Maxx, whom she got engaged to in 2025 after four years of dating—who stood by her side through this meaningful journey. "This is where it gets me," the Last Song actress said on the Walk of Fame, her voice laced with emotion, "to my family, my future family, my parents, my mom, my siblings, my friends, my collaborators: Thank you for loving and supporting not only the choices that I make but also my fears and facing them with me."
The three-time Grammy winner also took a moment to express her appreciation for her fans who have been with her since the beginning. "To my fans, you are the stars that make my dream a reality every day through your love and support," Miley said, adding that she hopes her music "continues to affect the hearts of generations to come," and long after she is gone, "awakens something raw and imperfect and sexy and glamorous and joyful in times that need it."
